༒ ✧ Tasked myself with preparing the War Hound for the field and the mountain, with no detail spared for such a fine and accomplished battler // I used aluminum rings with some silver detailings and a single piece of moonstone for protection // thanks @2580588s + @bitter.000000 for training such a fine hero ✧ ༒ Happy Halloween!
“A river of intoxication down her pharynx, a dream in the mouthpiece of the pipe, fractured antilife until the devil gets wind of it. I’m not with her anymore but I think about her often; in fact, her face is hung on the wall above my kitchen table where I see her every morning. I want to reach into the canvas and put my mouth to her ear: “Die.” “

Posting writing to main…This piece was supposed to be in a magazine but it got decommissioned this morning, a few months after being accepted for publication (and designed by me obviously) because it’s too internet-y. Ok…I’d say mostly it’s about my sweet landlord’s suicide earlier this year and the feelings that entwine us to darker winter months. I do feel more attentive to the process of creation during that season and gaze toward the universalizing blanket that billows above the city. Enjoy or don’t, it doesn’t matter to me.
So hyped to share this stunner of a cover for PAINT MY BODY IN RED by @emma.destroys.the.world !!!!! 🩸 🔪
Punk emo girl poetry with a dash of revolution coming atcha November 2027
Cover by @celardolor
Preorder where you get your books! 🤟
Patti Smith meets Anne Sexton in this modern punk, femme poetry collection that explores hook-up culture, casual and online dating, and the evolution of modern love.
Pierce delivers visceral, erotic poems that draw their raw materials from the folly of youth and the intoxication of first love. Grotesque imagery, calling back to the original sad girl poets, contrasts with erotic self-portraits. She presents the familiar ache of trying to define one’s self within the constraints of womanhood under the oppressive shadow of the patriarchy. Trauma is the catalyst for the reclamation of the “female gaze.”
“My ovaries shrink like a cranberry, drying up / like a snail / I will only have sex with myself for the rest of our lives.”
Peppered with riot girl hot takes, this intoxicating collection tackles issues of abortion, gender identity, and sexual agency. A promising debut that embraces dark femininity with a youthful battle cry full of fire and blood. 🩸
Emma Pierce is a poet and educator from a small town in Alabama. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Colorado Boulder and currently teaches English and creative writing. Her work seeks to create moments of recognition, connection, and quiet understanding—she now writes and teaches in between the mountains of Colorado.
༻ ✽ You guys will not be seeing these nails until I hit the salon. Anyway…just finished this for my mom. Stainless steel / Czech glass beads // other stuff. Sizes of the rings range from 3/32 inch to 1/2 inch. Hope everyone is having a nice April so far. Good thing we aren’t witnessing continued global catastrophes and atrocities beyond human comprehension but enacted by human hands. The world makes me sick. ✽ ༺
